bounds :Phaser.Rectangle

The bounds inside of which the physics world exists. Defaults to match the world bounds.

Source - physics/arcade/World.js, line 29

checkCollision :object

Set the checkCollision properties to control for which bounds collision is processed. For example checkCollision.down = false means Bodies cannot collide with the World.bounds.bottom. An object containing allowed collision flags.

Source - physics/arcade/World.js, line 36

forceX :boolean

If true World.separate will always separate on the X axis before Y. Otherwise it will check gravity totals first.

Source - physics/arcade/World.js, line 56

game :Phaser.Game

Local reference to game.

Source - physics/arcade/World.js, line 19

gravity :Phaser.Point

The World gravity setting. Defaults to x: 0, y: 0, or no gravity.

Source - physics/arcade/World.js, line 24

isPaused :boolean

If true the Body.preUpdate method will be skipped, halting all motion for all bodies. Note that other methods such as collide will still work, so be careful not to call them on paused bodies.

collide(object1, object2, collideCallback, processCallback, callbackContext) → {boolean}

Checks for collision between two game objects. You can perform Sprite vs. Sprite, Sprite vs. Group, Group vs. Group, Sprite vs. Tilemap Layer or Group vs. Tilemap Layer collisions. Both the first and second parameter can be arrays of objects, of differing types. If two arrays are passed, the contents of the first parameter will be tested against all contents of the 2nd parameter. The objects are also automatically separated. If you don't require separation then use ArcadePhysics.overlap instead. An optional processCallback can be provided. If given this function will be called when two sprites are found to be colliding. It is called before any separation takes place, giving you the chance to perform additional checks. If the function returns true then the collision and separation is carried out. If it returns false it is skipped. The collideCallback is an optional function that is only called if two sprites collide. If a processCallback has been set then it needs to return true for collideCallback to be called. NOTE: This function is not recursive, and will not test against children of objects passed (i.e. Groups or Tilemaps within other Groups).

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`object1`	Phaser.Sprite \| Phaser.Group \| Phaser.Particles.Emitter \| Phaser.TilemapLayer \| array			The first object or array of objects to check. Can be Phaser.Sprite, Phaser.Group, Phaser.Particles.Emitter, or Phaser.TilemapLayer.

`collideCallback`	function	<optional>	null	An optional callback function that is called if the objects collide. The two objects will be passed to this function in the same order in which you specified them, unless you are colliding Group vs. Sprite, in which case Sprite will always be the first parameter.
`processCallback`	function	<optional>	null	A callback function that lets you perform additional checks against the two objects if they overlap. If this is set then collision will only happen if processCallback returns true. The two objects will be passed to this function in the same order in which you specified them, unless you are colliding Group vs. Sprite, in which case Sprite will always be the first parameter.
`callbackContext`	object	<optional>		The context in which to run the callbacks.

Returns:

overlap(object1, object2, overlapCallback, processCallback, callbackContext) → {boolean}

Checks for overlaps between two game objects. The objects can be Sprites, Groups or Emitters. You can perform Sprite vs. Sprite, Sprite vs. Group and Group vs. Group overlap checks. Unlike collide the objects are NOT automatically separated or have any physics applied, they merely test for overlap results. Both the first and second parameter can be arrays of objects, of differing types.

velocityFromAngle(angle, speed, point) → {Phaser.Point}

Given the angle (in degrees) and speed calculate the velocity and return it as a Point object, or set it to the given point object. One way to use this is: velocityFromAngle(angle, 200, sprite.velocity) which will set the values directly to the sprites velocity and not create a new Point object.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`angle`	number			The angle in degrees calculated in clockwise positive direction (down = 90 degrees positive, right = 0 degrees positive, up = 90 degrees negative)
`speed`	number	<optional>	60	The speed it will move, in pixels per second sq.
`point`	Phaser.Point \| object	<optional>		The Point object in which the x and y properties will be set to the calculated velocity.

Returns:

Phaser.Point -

A Point where point.x contains the velocity x value and point.y contains the velocity y value.

velocityFromRotation(rotation, speed, point) → {Phaser.Point}

Given the rotation (in radians) and speed calculate the velocity and return it as a Point object, or set it to the given point object. One way to use this is: velocityFromRotation(rotation, 200, sprite.velocity) which will set the values directly to the sprites velocity and not create a new Point object.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`rotation`	number			The angle in radians.
`speed`	number	<optional>	60	The speed it will move, in pixels per second sq.
`point`	Phaser.Point \| object	<optional>		The Point object in which the x and y properties will be set to the calculated velocity.

Returns:

Phaser.Point -

A Point where point.x contains the velocity x value and point.y contains the velocity y value.

worldAngleToPointer(displayObject, pointer) → {number}

Find the angle in radians between a display object (like a Sprite) and a Pointer, taking their x/y and center into account relative to the world.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
`displayObject`	any		The DisplayObjerct to test from.
`pointer`	Phaser.Pointer	<optional>	The Phaser.Pointer to test to. If none is given then Input.activePointer is used.

Returns:

number -

The angle in radians between displayObject.world.x/y to Pointer.worldX / worldY
